NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – Danaher's Leica Biosystems will use Flagship Biosciences' custom algorithms to develop companion diagnostics on the Aperio ePathology imaging platform, Flagship said today.

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) – Companion diagnostics and biomarker development company Flagship Biosciences announced late on Monday its purchase of immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence firm IHCtech for an undisclosed amount.

The deal combines Expression Pathology's mass spec-based assays for FFPE tissue with Flagship's pathology expertise, allowing the partners to identify tissue features or sub-anatomic organelles of research interest and then extract and prep them for proteomic analysis.
